Introduction

This bug day will take place on Sunday, October 10th 2010, but feel free to start early. The aim of this bug day is to get as many KWin-related bugs done as possible. Our target for triage is bugs listed in bugs.kde.org under the product KWin.

Goals of this Bug Day

Check if bugs reported for KWin which are previously UNCONFIRMED are reproducible.

If a bug's description is somewhat unclear, try to provide a better step-by-step procedure on how to reproduce it. This will make it easier for developers to find and fix the bug.

Some bugs may not be reproducible on every installation of KDE. Thus we use a 4-eye principle, having at least 2 triagers look at the bugs before we make any changes on the bugs themselves.

Be sure to join #kde-bugs on irc.freenode.net, as this is where the bug-day will be coordinated. (You can even join now!)

You should be working with KDE SC 4 (either 4.5 or newer, preferably 4.5.2 or SVN trunk) for testing these bugs.

Warning

Always make a note on the bug of what the status is in the version you are testing with (be explicit as to what version of 4 you are using, mentioning whether it is a source build and which distro the packages come from).

Is it a big bug?

Prioritizing is good. If a major application doesn't work, this should be taken care of.

Version field

Keep an eye on what the "Version:" fields say in Bugzilla. If it says "unspecified", change the version field to match what the report says, i.e. to match version the bug was first reported in. Do not change the version number if it is currently set as a number! (ex. from 4.0 to 4.2)

Keep this page updated!

After adding triaged bugs on this page, you should keep an eye on their bugzilla status. Add yourself on the CC field in bugzilla to be informed about updates. When a bug is closed on bugzilla, it should be updated on this page.

You can do this with the tag <s>...</s>

Details

Please select a period of bugs from the Division of Labour section below and mark your name next to it and mark it with your irc nickname to show that you are working on it. When you have completed all the bugs in that section, please mark it as complete.

For each bug, try and reproduce it as described in the report. Then list it in the appropriate section below. If you wish to close or mark as duplicate a bug, please list it here even if you have the bugzilla permissions to do so, in order to get a second opinion from another triager. This will help to reduce the number of incorrect actions taken on bugs.

Sign-in

Tell developers what you are testing with. (If you expect to upgrade between now and Bug Day, put what version you are using now next to the bugs/comments that you put on this page.)

Please be sure to sign every bug or comment you add to this page with your irc nickname. You can use the wiki markup ~~~ to insert your wiki username automatically (but only do this if it is the same as your IRC nickname, otherwise write your IRC nickname in by hand).

Division of Labour

Please choose a batch that is not already taken and then query bugs.kde.org for all bugs in that batch. Please mark you irc nickname in the table below to show which batches bugs you are working on to avoid duplication of effort.

Completed Bugs

Below lists the various sections for completed bugs. This aids everyone in double checking each other's work. In addition this allows those of us that don't have bugzilla permissions to list bugs so that the folks with the permissions can follow up.

Please note that this is an experimental layout designed to reduce the number of edit conflicts on this page. Each section is its own subpage. The best way to work with this is to enable section editing by going to "My preferences" > "editing" > "Enable section editing via [edit] links". When you click edit you will automatically edit the subpage.

Bugs needing Version Field changed

If you don't have bugzilla permissions yet, you can't change version fields. Put what needs changing here and someone else will go through and do it for you.

Valid bugs with step-by-step instructions

If it is a deterministic bug, put it here. Make sure it has instructions. You should be able to verify it. (Write that you did on bugzilla and include your version information.)

bug #159989 - focus stealing. I can reproduce it, but also there is a simple workaround. Jtamate

bug #170488 - windows resizes.I can reproduce it, marked as NEW. also it is quite simple to reproduce. Jtamate

bug #182447 - black border after playing game using OpenGL. Reproducible on GeForce 8600 with 256.35. Lemma

bug #148902 - Maximizing a window below another one, Doesn't move the focus on it even if the "click to focus" Policy is active. I don't know if this is a bug or the wanted behaviour. This should be a wish. FiNeX

bug #174671 - Bug confirmed: Panels doesn't follow the main window when it is moved on another desktop FiNeX

bug #189241 - I've the inverse problem: When the menu on the system tray is opened, The shadow appears only after some seconds and only if I've hovered a menu with a sub-menu: When the submenu is closed the shadows appears FiNeX

bug #133179 - Not a bug. IMHO the behaviour is correct. The second time you click on the mp3 file, The command called for reproduce it doesn't start a new audacious/xmms istance but it append the file on the playlist so keeping the focus on the file manager should be correct FiNeX

bug #182191 - wrong icon size used in decoration. I tested it using akregator for which 16x16 and 22x22+ icons look different. The decoration seems to use the 16x16 icon so I guess this bug was fixed. Lemma

bug #187543 - Cannot reproduce: When ktorrent is opened with a file .torrent as paramenter, The dialog is correctly displayed even if the window rule is set to minimze the application on start (step by step instructions provided) FiNeX

Valid bugs that should be marked as NEW

bug #242217 - I can reproduce it in 4.5.2 after a slight adjustment of the steps to reproduce (see report) Dns-hmpf.

KWin bugs that need attention from developers

If anything is in doubt, put it here, and give a description of why you think a developer should look at it.

bug #172649 - I do not know what to do with this bug. I've used foobar2000 and didn't saw this happening. But what I've seen is that parts of foobar2000 sometimes get black background when switching from using desktop effects to not using them. Jtamate

bug #182500 - This was originally meant for the KWin developers. Something about wine which only seems to be a problem with the KDE3 version. I guess it might be closed but I'm not sure so some dev should have a look at it. Lemma

bug #183680 - I can reproduce this bug: Enable paint effect and enable always keep thumbnails. Then open ksysguard and minimize it. Still KWin marks the areas ksysguard was in repainted. mgraesslin said he wanted to look into the code, so maybe this is not a bug after all (or just a minor one with the paint effect). Lemma
